We presented an unusual arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) case of a late-60s elderly man’s death, due to severe pericardial/pleural effusion and ascites, and arrhythmic events, with unique pathological features. The hypertrophic heart grossly displayed yellowish to yellow-whitish predominantly in the variably thinned wall of the dilated right ventricle. Microscopic findings showed diffuse fatty/fibrofatty replacement in not only the right but left ventricular myocardium, together with an outer lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate. According to the lipid contents analysis, the triglyceride content, but not the cholesterol content, in our patient’s right and left ventricular cardiac muscle was much higher than that in the control subject. We propose that this unique triglyceride deposition in our possibly late-onset ARVC case might be one of new clues to understand its enigmatic cause. Further prospective studies are needed to validate the presence and significance of a greater volume of triglyceride deposit, after collecting and investigating a larger number of early and late-onset ARVC cases examined.

Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium, sometimes referred to as “spongy myocardium”, appears as excessive and prominent trabeculations and deep intratrabecular recesses within the ventricular wall, usually involving the left ventricle, although the right ventricle and interventricular septum can also be affected. It may occur with or without additional heart malformations. Roifman syndrome is a constellation of antibody deficiency, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, facial dysmorphism, growth retardation, and retinal dystrophy. We report a patient with Roifman syndrome who presented with noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium. Our findings expand the spectrum of diseases associated with noncompaction. The recognition of noncompaction among patients with Roifman syndrome is important, as the immune deficiencies may be subtle and undiagnosed until adulthood. Thus, some patients may first present with cardiac failure.

SummaryAbsence of myocardial fibers in the right ventricle is the essence of so-called Uhl's anomaly, which should be distinguished from the fatty replacement producing arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia of the adolescent and young adult. In this report, we describe a newborn with nearly complete absence of the myocardium of the left ventricle. The infant died on the seventh day because of myocardial incompetence of the left ventricle, which was unable to open the aortic valve.

ABSTRACTThe size and growth patterns of the components of the human embryonic heart have remained largely undefined. To provide these data, three-dimensional heart models were generated from immunohistochemically stained sections of ten human embryonic hearts ranging from Carnegie stage 10 to 23. Fifty-eight key structures were annotated and volumetrically assessed. Sizes of the septal foramina and atrioventricular canal opening were also measured. The heart grows exponentially throughout embryonic development. There was consistently less left than right atrial myocardium, and less right than left ventricular myocardium. We observed a later onset of trabeculation in the left atrium compared to the right. Morphometry showed that the rightward expansion of the atrioventricular canal starts in week 5. The septal foramina are less than 0.1 mm2 and are, therefore, much smaller than postnatal septal defects. This chronological, graphical atlas of the growth patterns of cardiac components in the human embryo provides quantified references for normal heart development. Thereby, this atlas may support early detection of cardiac malformations in the foetus.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Its morphometric parameters (myocardial mass according to the procedure described by R. Devereuxe, end-diastolic volume and their ratio). Sixteen healthy children of the same age formed the control group. A gradual redistribution of transmitral flow to­wards the atrial systolic phase was found in children with a more than 5-year history of diabetes, which seems to be associated im­paired L V myocardial relaxation due to myocardial metabolic changes and to the occurrence of specific microangiopathies. The found changes progressed with time and correlated with the ap­pearance ofperipheral distal neuropathy. Within the first year of diabetes, there was a transient reduction in LV contractility, which appears to be associated with myocardial metabolic im­balance during the decompensation of the disease. There is a trend to LV myocardial hypertrophy 10years after the onset of the disease.

A 32 year old man with no previous medical history suffered a sudden cardiac death. Post mortem examination revealed circumferential fibro-fatty infiltration of the left ventricular myocardium. Histological appearance was characteristic of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia but unusual for its localisation only to the left ventricle. As a result of this sudden cardiac death the family of the deceased was screened for cardiac disease. A brother of the index case was 36 years old and free of cardiac history and symptoms. Cardiac investigations revealed a functionally and electrically abnormal left ventricle with apparent sparing of the right ventricle. The brothers may have a left sided form of arrhythmogenic ventricular dysplasia and illustrate the importance of screening family members of young victims of sudden cardiac death.
